dc.description.abstractEnCosmic rays are ubiquitous in interstellar environments, and their bombardment of dust-grain ice mantles is a possible driver for the formation of complex, even prebiotic molecules. Yet, critical data that are essential for accurate modeling of this phenomenon, such as the average radii of cosmic-ray tracks in amorphous solid water (ASW) remain unconstrained. It is shown that cosmic ray tracks in ASW can be approximated as a cylindrical volume with an average radius that is mostly independent of the initial particle energy. Interactions between energetic ions and both a low-density amorphous (LDA) and high-density amorphous (HDA) ice target are simulated using the Geant4-DNA Monte Carlo toolkit, which allows for tracking secondary electrons down to subexcitation energies in the material. We find the peak track core radii, r cyl , for LDA and HDA ices to be 9.9 nm and 8.4 nm, respectively-somewhat less than double the value of 5 nm often assumed in astrochemical models.
